Australia Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall NSW, 12 Sept 2014 - # 1

[SouthAussie]

Sounds as if they are looking into other scenarios more and more if they have bolstered the investigators to 30 persons now. Maybe they are now looking at all CCTV from the area ... highways, train stations, local shops, petrol stations .....


"More than 30 investigators are now working on the case of missing three-year-old William Tyrell, whose mysterious disappearance on the NSW mid-north coast last week has stumped police and search crews.

"We would have hoped to have found something by now. Whilst we still have any chance of survival, we will continue searching, but at the same time our investigative efforts, we're bolstering them to ensure that if anything has happened to William apart from him disappearing of his own means, that we come up with the right result."

Superintendent Fehon said police had no information to suggest that any suspicious person had contact with William before his disappearance about 10.30am on Friday."

Well if the police think abduction is possible, they've sure spent a lot of time and resources on the wandering off theory. Or do they conduct an abduction side of the investigation more behind the scenes? Also, they used scent dogs who didn't track him beyond the yard. So they must have thought that was possibly a false negative, or why keep the main investigation on the theory he wandered off?

I "think" Tyrrell is Mum's partners last name... if William's father was different, would LE use the correct last name?

I would hope they had been running multiple investigation theories right from the start....I'm pretty sure they would have.

From everything I have read on SES FB page, it seems that they have been doing exactly that. Sex offenders were checked early in the piece, people's houses searched and re-searched ... as well as the massive outdoors/vehicle/drain/waterways searches. I also imagine that they have been gathering all local CCTV. And they had that incident of someone finding a spiderman costume in a park 30 mins away, which was later dispelled as not being the same kind of suit as William's one.

I do not believe that they have ever been narrowly-focused here.

As the ground search for the three-year-old enters its fifth day, efforts behind the scenes to investigate a possible abduction have been ramped up dramatically.

However, Supt Fehon refused to elaborate on what lines of inquiry detectives were following behind the scenes in terms of a possible abduction.

SNIFFER dogs have failed to pick up any scent of little William Tyrell on the NSW mid-north coast, fuelling fears he may not have wandered away from home.

It's baffling that there's no lead at this time," Superintendent Paul Fehon told Macquarie Radio on Tuesday.

"We would have thought we would have had some indication of something at this stage of this very thorough search."

Neither police sniffer dogs nor cadaver dogs have been able to pick up any sign of the boy, Supt Fehon said.

Not sure...but hey they can't even get the last name right...It's "Tyrrell" but so many reports are writing it as Tyrell...so who knows???

Check the Australian Missing Persons Register FB page. Nicole is amazing and she is doing a wonderful job keeping everyone updated with actual facts.

Do you have a link? That might be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Neither sniffer dogs or cadaver dogs can pick up any trace......would seem to indicate he is nowhere near there then...

Which reminds me - can someone please edit the name TYRELL in the heading of this thread to TYRRELL? I used to get confused why a thread that I had previously commented on, was not coming up in a search!!

 

[SouthAussie]

Police in the mid-north coast area have been working with specialist units across the state, including the sex crime squad.

Known sex offenders in the area have been contacted to confirm their whereabouts when William was last seen in his grandmother's front yard around 10.30am last Friday.

'We are concentrating back on last Friday when he was in that yard, playing with his sister, with his grandmother there and his mother at home,' Supt Fehon said.

'If someone saw anything or knew of anyone that was visiting the Kendall area before 11 o'clock, if they could please call Crime Stoppers.'

'We do have grave concerns,' Supt Fehon said.

'To disappear that quickly absolutely bewilders us.'

OFFICERS from the Sex Crimes Squad of the NSW Police State Crime Command have joined the investigation into the disappearance of missing toddler William Tyrell.

Officers have also been going through rubbish bins along the town&#8217;s streets in the hope of finding clues to his disappearance.

Residents have been asked to disclose how many people live in each house and where those people were on Friday morning when William went missing.

Superintendent Paul Fehon said this morning the as-yet unnamed strike force had set up its headquarters in Port Macquarie, about 40km north-east of Kendall where William went missing on Friday, and would investigate &#8220;all avenues&#8221;.

Police Public Order and Riot Squad join the search

Detectives from the specialist squad have been deployed today from Sydney to head up a strike force of more than 30 officers, including local detectives and investigators from further afield.

Their deployment points to growing concerns that William has met with foul play, rather than simply wandered off into the bush and become lost.

Some thoughts:
- I believe that while the police investigation focused strongly on the search in the bush for a lost boy from the outset (and they are still going on with this), it was not at the exclusion of quietly pursuing other avenues such as sex offenders etc
- Listening to Mr Fehon speak on radio this morning, it is evident how baffled everyone is. They have NO LEADS. They have tried sniffer dogs, cadaver dogs, have searched and re-searched waterways, dams - anything they can think of, even if it is quhoth William's biological parents. There has simply been no mention of any other significant relative in the boy's life, other than the grandmother and sister and these parents.
- It could also be the case, as I and someone else have previously suggested, that the amount of time that William was left unsupervised has been whittled down to five minutes, when in fact it may have been a whole lot longer, but the family does not want to appear as irresponsible in what is reported to the media
- I even think I read somewhere, that thermal imaging equipment had been used as part of this search - but correct me if I am wrong
- The fact that the friend Nicole is most recently being quoted as saying that William is, amongst other things, an 'adventurous' boy, leads me to believe that he may well have had the inclination or capacity to run off
- By now, after this 'very thorough search' as Mr Fehon describes it, I do believe that the search parties have not missed William in any places they have physically searched. Just like with the many days of searching for Gary Tweddle in the Blue Mountains, he was eventually found not in a place in which he had been previously overlooked, but somewhere that no one had been able to access. Mind you, with that search though, police already forewarned that there were many rugged crevices where a body could be, which had been inaccessible to them. In this search for William, I don't think the landscape is such, that it is so inaccessible where police think there are locations that they are physically unable to search. So that really leads us back to square one - this being that William is not there?!
- What a location for an opportunistic abduction though! A quiet residential area, people at home during the day, yet few cars about - it just doesn't come across as the place a would be abductor would hang out in
- I was not aware that this was a surprise visit to the grandmother? If that's the case, then it points to the Tyrrells living fairly locally, as opposed to in Sydney? Surely you wouldn't drive as far as Port Macquarie for a surprise visit and also be there by 10.30 am already?
- I also heard it mentioned on the radio that the parents had said that this was actually the first time at William had played outside at his grandmother's place. Not sure if that means that the grandmother only recently moved there, or if on every previous occasion he had been constrained to indoors. But I thought the mention of that detail was a bit significant. Perhaps William was so exuberant about his new environment that he really did take off. It would lend credibility to that argument. But the lack of physical evidence and scent speaks against it at the same time...
- Police have at no stage indicated that anything was amiss in the family or that there might be something fishy going on with the parents, not even to the extent of alluding to anything, like they are 'assisting with inquiries' etc. Just mention of them being heartbroken and taking part in the search.

BBM - Is this just bad wording... was mum even at the house at time of disappearance?

 

[Froglady]

Sorry marleywings. That was prob me

 

[Amee]

Nicole said William liked playing outside but he did not have a tendency to wander off.

'He didn't live here [in Kendall] so he wasn't in the bush but he was definitely outdoorsy,' she said.

He loved being outside but he knew the limits, he knew the perimeters, he knew where to go and where not to go.

'He was taught really well about the places that he could play.'
